Open Data Kit
Open Data Kit (ODK) tools help millions of people around the world collect, manage, and use their data. Users of ODK include Google, WHO, CDC, USAID, the Red Cross and Red Crescent, the Carter Center, the Jane Goodall Institute and many others. From monitoring rainforests to observing elections to tracking outbreaks, Open Data Kit is the standard for mobile data collection.
USE CASES
Open Data Kit was used at scale in the Ebola outbreaks in 2014 in West Africa and the recent outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2018. Use-cases included contact tracing, decision support, community education, strategic mapping, and case management. In response to COVID-19, the ODK community has made available the COVID-19 Minimum Reporting Form to be used in ODK deployments. This Form is founded on the WHO protocol for investigating the first few cases and contact investigation for COVID-19.
